What does 'CShell' mean for Windows Mobile?

What exactly is Cshell? It's not a something you find on the beach, that's for sure. From Windows Central Senior Editor Zac Bowden:

CShell is Microsoft's new Windows Shell that will eventually replace the existing Windows Shell in future releases of Windows 10. It's an adaptable shell that can scale in real time, adapting to different screen sizes and orientations on the fly. CShell is a shell modularized into sub-components, which can transition between those components when required, making for a far more flexible user experience on devices that have multiple form factors.

We're particularly excited about CShell, if for no other reason than it's a definite step in the right direction for Windows 10 Mobile, and it looks more modern and in line with the Windows desktop experience, which is kind of the point.

There's a lively thread in our forum (posted by user ravimaurya027) right now on this very subject, and it's already received dozens of (mostly) thoughtful comments.
